Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

16 – The First Trial (5)

A monster resembling a giant wolf that could be as tall as 3m.

The fangs were the size of my forearm and the claws were the size of a human face, giving off an intimidating atmosphere, but that was only before I was beaten.

Kwajik!

As the fist struck him in the head, his skull shriveled up like a sponge, and one fell to the ground with blood spurting from the chimney.

The kick continued while spinning in the air as it was.

Seeing his fellow tribesmen being killed in an instant, the man who was about to open his mouth to devour the enemy split his jaw in half, scattering things like eyeballs and brains.

Boom!

As the fearless creature broke the wall and flew away, raindrops rained down from the ceiling.

─Kururu… ….

The last one left tried to roll up his tail and run away, but he realized he wasn’t an enemy he could defeat.

Understand, the enemy who disappeared with the sound of kicking the ground strangely appeared in front of the monster.

I can’t tell if I’m teleporting or moving quickly, but the important thing is to avoid attacks and run away.

With that thought in mind, I bristled my hair, raised my toenails, made a sudden stop, and prepared to quickly move sideways.

The series of movements were as natural as flowing water, which was admirable, but it was not enough to shake off the enemy.

─Great… ….

The sight, which had been fine, suddenly returned.

The human who had been standing on the floor a while ago seemed to be attached to the ceiling like a bat.

As her consciousness faded, the last thing she could see was that her body was also falling to the floor.

That’s how the last monster died.

“…… Great.”

I exclaimed as if possessed.

I knew Charlotte was strong through mock sparring, but afterward I thought she was pretty exhausting.

But as if it was all an illusion, Charlotte easily killed the monsters.

“I was dispatched to escort the young master, so it’s only natural.”

Charlotte walks out of the chaos of blood and intestines without being covered with dust.

She said that most of the servants of the Heights family could do this, and she was not surprised.

“Did you raise soldiers in the mansion?”

“There are many who were actually knights or mercenaries. It may have passed its prime, but it is still capable enough to be active.”

“Is that so… ….”

Looking back now, the academy was a very narrow place.

No, it’s a place you come to learn in the first place, so it sounds strange that there are talented people who have nothing more to learn.

“So, why don’t you come out and just watch?”

“… ….”

Lucy was in a state where only her head was sticking out through the hole created by the monsters sticking her head in.

With a slightly disappointed look, whether it was because the person I was hoping for didn’t come, or if the person I didn’t want to receive help from came.

He asked me useless questions like why are you here at a busy time, so I ignored him and told him to answer my own question.

“No, that’s it, you know.”

Ah, this is what I was thinking wrong.

It wasn’t that Lucy wasn’t coming down, it was more accurate to say that she couldn’t come down.

She couldn’t run away because of her injury, but she ran so frantically that she didn’t even consider it.

“…… I won’t be able to move again…….”

That’s something I’ve heard before.

However, this time there was no time for me to move leisurely.

Because Lucy isn’t the only person to save.

“Charlotte, take Lucy to the infirmary. If it was here, it would be closer.”

First of all, I put my hand into Lucy’s armpit as she poked her head out of the hole and lifted it up.

I was about to hand it over to Charlotte, but he wiggled as if he had something to say.

“… ….”

Judging by the way she turned her head without saying anything, it must have been my mistake.

Anyway, I handed Lucy over to Charlotte because I had work to do.

“Where do you plan to go again, Bocchan?”

“I will go back to where the saintess was.”

Suddenly, the culprits who led this incident must have headed there to achieve their original purpose.

With Charlotte’s help, it would be easy to defeat them, but unfortunately, it takes a bit of special power to get back there.

Swordsmanship that can even cut down the space the protagonist possesses, or Adele’s fairy-tale power.

For this reason, I’ve been watching with my hands behind my back.

“Once I get it…… But Bocchan, you must promise me this.”

“What do you mean?”

“If you decide that it is dangerous, please prioritize the boy’s life.”

I nodded because it sounded so natural.

“If the young master dies, I will die too, so please be considerate.”

“I know your position, so don’t worry.”

Anyway, he patted Charlotte on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry,” He said, because he could understand that too.

“I don’t think anyone I know would do this… ….”

However, Charlotte only sighed.

It was dark.

What was contained in Sylvia’s pupils was just pure darkness itself.

“… ….”

Obviously, just a moment ago, he was in the emergency room.

However, the incident happened suddenly.

While the professors were paying attention to the monsters released from the breeding grounds.

With a sound, a blemish was created in the space as if a window had been broken, and the bars that fell like a cage separated the world.

It’s pitch black where you can’t even see what’s ahead.

“You are calm.”

In the space where even sound had disappeared, a boiling voice was heard.

I couldn’t see anything, but when I turned my head there, I saw a face floating around like an emotionless mask.

“Collock, who are you?”

There are quite a few people who are willing to take their own lives.

Those who have a grudge against the Holy Kingdom, and those who were sacrificed to make a saint.

Anyway, I didn’t have any guesses so I asked.

“Can you understand this situation if you say witch?”

Sylvia’s hands, which were holding her wheelchair, tightened.

Witch.

It was a term used to refer to a mixed blood with another race that had characteristics different from humans at birth.

They were also those who were treated as demons by the Holy Kingdom and slaughtered.

There are relatively benign witches, but it’s usually the radical witches who do this.

Criminals who do not understand the language and are busy expressing their anger to the world.

“Looks like you understand.”

The face floating in the air smiled viciously.

It became blurry like ink spreading in water and soon appeared in front of Sylvia’s nose.

The smell of burnt ashes filled her nostrils.

Perhaps this is the smell that permeates your clothes as you explode Trinity Academy’s defense supply device.

“I have no grudge against the saintess. However, this is the fastest way to inform the world of the violence of the Holy Kingdom.”

No matter how tough Trinity Academy’s security is, they are easy prey compared to the Holy Kingdom.

That’s why this witch was aiming for her saintess who had left her conservatory to receive her teachings.

She wasn’t trying to hit the kingdom directly, she was trying to put pressure on it through Sylvia.

“What happened to the others?”

The claps returned from the darkness.

As if mocking, sarcastic, or sarcastic.

“Oh, the saintess is worried about others even in this situation.”

Sylvia stared blankly into space.

She couldn’t tell where the witch was, as the voices now echoed throughout.

“If you had such a heart, why did you ignore the violence of the Holy Kingdom against us?”

“I have never stood by the sidelines.”

Sylvia has never ordered her to stop an indiscriminate witch hunt.

However, those who lost loved ones to the radical witches just continued the chain of hatred.

“Well, I will let you know that much.”

The witch hit the air with her palm.

Like raindrops falling on a lake creating ripples, the pitch-black space became transparent and the scene outside gradually began to be visible.

The emergency room completely collapsed.

Lots of corpses were strewn about like garbage underneath.

Not the professor or the patient caught in the explosion, but the corpses of the assailants wearing black robes.

Standing on the corpse was Silvia’s escort knight, Alessia.

She was striking the barrier that separated her from Sylvia with her fist, with the blood of her witches all over her body.

Unlike the always cool-headed woman, she seemed excited.

“It is useless. This barrier is specially made.”

The barrier became transparent, and the witch who led the incident could be seen in a group of lights penetrating the black smoke.

Goat horns sprouted from her head, and her pupils were square and horizontally long, just like those of goats.

Even so, her face was that of a human, so it was a grotesque appearance worthy of being persecuted by people.

“If you are not born with witch’s blood, like us, you are not allowed to enter, and it is also close to impossible for those who do not to try to break the barrier.”

The magical power mixed with the blood of witches has a deep resentment and hates people to the point of rejecting them even after death.

The barrier created by mixing the blood of such witches also inherited such things, and there was a considerable rejection reaction towards those who were not witches.

Of course, it took a lot of witch’s blood to make this, and it had to be changed a lot.

However, some sacrifice for the greater good is not necessary.

They understood this too and became part of this barrier themselves.

“Now, please die. Please be the catalyst for the liberation of the witches.”

The witch took her sword out of her bosom and took one step towards Sylvia.

She staggers as if drunk, but the distance was definitely getting closer.

However, Sylvia’s eyes were not on the witch.

She’s over his shoulder.

In-young appears as if she is looking for her own color and shape in a space where there is no one.

It was Adele who assimilated with the landscape.
